My dad had a hard life that wasn't really aware of till I was older. He worked hard to try and provide a better life for him and his family and succeeded and I will always love and appreciate everything he has done for us. On June 11 2022 my father passed from the disease ALS, a disease that with no cure and one that he never deserved. Its hard to think of him gone, he did everything for us and I'll miss him greatly.
